Cervical Dysplasia

What is Cervical Dysplasia?
The cervix is a small, donut-shaped structure, located at the top of the vagina. It is the entrance to the uterus. Cervical cancer begins with abnormal, microscopic changes in cells in the outer layer of the cervix, called the epithelium. This stage is called dysplasia. If changes continue to occur, cells may become cancerous and grow out of control.

Causes of Cervical Dysplasia:
The cause of cervical cancer is unknown, but infection with certain types of human papilloma virus (HPV) significantly increases a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer. Cigarette smoking also may contribute to cervical cancer.

Symptoms of Cervical Dysplasia ?
In its early stages, cervical cancer does not cause any symptoms. Once it begins to spread, it may cause a blood-tinged or discolored vaginal discharge that does not itch, spotting after intercourse, or abnormal bleeding.

Diagnosis of Cervical Dysplasia
The diagnosis of cervical cancer usually begins with a pelvic exam. The doctor uses a speculum, an instrument that holds the walls of the vagina open to make it easier to inspect your cervix and vagina, and do a Pap test.
